About Me

I love books. And I love cupcakes. I spend alot of time reading blogs about both. Then I thought to myself, wouldn't it be fun to have it all in one? So here's the plan. Here on my little blog, you're going to find book reviews (mostly YA, because I'm absolutely addicted to them) and once in while I'll show you what I'm cooking up in my little vintage aprons, recipes and all. It's gonna be fun---visit often!! :)

To contact me regarding this blog or if you are a publisher/author with a book you'd like reviewed, send an email to:

I am currently accepting YA books for review, but I am not accepting ebooks.

Natalie Cleary must
risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to
build a new world with the boy she loves.

Natalie’s last summer
in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start…until she
starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at
first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a
pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town
disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing
buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.

That’s when she
gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls
“Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The
next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field,
she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and
nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

Emily Henry’s
stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s
Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school,
when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths
we’ve left untaken.

My thoughts: This is the kind of synopsis that I love, not too much given away, but the kind of thing that makes you think "WHAT the heck is going on??" But there's magic, there's weird apparitions, there's football and the hint at an epic romance. Just with this very vague description, I think it sounds amazing! :)

The boy name is weird, lol. But the cover is stuuuunning :D I love it. <3 Fingers crossed this book will be amazing :) I really hope you'll love it when you get to read it Becky. <3 I must hear more about it :) So gorgeous looking.

I love this cover! So eyecatching - even without the great sounding synopsis, I'd probably pick it up. I agree that it's a vague description but still one that makes you want to read the book! I am very intrigued by this "Grandmother" person especially. Great pick, thanks for sharing! :)
